gollark: You can use codegen to generate code for repetitive tasks of some sort if they don't need to generalize much or go outside your project, but it's much better to just... not have to do those repetitive tasks, or have the compiler/macros handle them.
gollark: Also, you end up with a mess of fragile infrastructure which operates on stringy representations of the code.
gollark: I can either:- use `interface{}` - lose type safety and performance- codegen a different `Tree` type for every use of it - now I can't really put it in its own library and it's generally inelegant and unpleasant
gollark: Consider what happens if I want to implement a generic `Tree` type.
gollark: For one thing, it doesn't really work in many cases.
